For comfort and hope for “Justice” in this Trump-Musk Republican nightmare, I’ re-watching the Nuremberg Trials. God love Robert H. Jackson, Supreme Court Justice and Chief United States Prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals following World War II :
We all needed to hear this speech yet almost no nat'l news orgs aired any moments of it which is a disgrace of today's nat'l journalism. You can't tell me that news orgs choices on what's newsworthy & aired doesn't affect public opinion.
The FACTS are being censored by Mainstream Media because the corporate media wants tax breaks! We deserve to be given straight news not propaganda and lies!
That’s a very subtle way of saying what I’ve been suggesting. We need to start organizing an underground movement to do what must be done, whatever that may be. Congress & the courts can’t/won’t stop Fuhrer trump and neo-Nazi musk. Both are in trump’s pocket. We’re in a real war against Nazism.
CITIZENS KNOW THIS! Our Senators and House Reps just can’t seem to grasp this concept/warning! Are they in a collective denial? Are they just too immobile or traumatized to function defensively?
Yes, lock and load because a war is coming and we saw how the Blitzkrieg set the allies back years. It’s coming and we are talking. Once the Generals are fired next week in 30 days after Tulsi shares secrets with Russia Red Dawn begins. It is going to happen folks
Exercise in futility. They will die for him.
I have begged my former best friends to do research and see that this is so wrong.
Nothing.
One of them is a gay Latino. Could not make it happen.
So, I gave up on them. Told them they are dead to me and that the bridges are burned.
It’s a cult.
Forget the other side that can't be convinced and focus on activating the Dems/Independents who stayed home in 2024. We have to make sure that our coalition is UNITED in 2026 and beyond.
Yeah, this operation had been carefully set up I would argue right after the New Deal. They experimented and pushed the envelope every day further.
I wake up every day hoping we can save ourselves, but fearing that we won’t.
It’s a cult.
Research it.
I used to be in cult when I was a teenager, and I would defend everything the church leader said, despite the many awful things I witnessed
My parents had to kidnap me and lock me in my room for 3 months before I understood that I was in a cult.
I am a teacher, and I once had a sign-language interpreter in my class for a deaf student. I could not get any of the students to look at me all term, but I completely understood, lol.
The Nerd Reich - the Tech Bros - based on the Rasputin musings of Curtis Yarvin - believe America is in the late stage of the Republic, and must become a Dictatorship, beginning with the destruction of NGOs (USAID) and the destruction of Universities (seizure of endowments).
I have to say in a world that we have auto-generated instantaneous closed captioning available I do hope Trump is able to rid us of this bizarre feint to equity of the incredibly distracting mad antics of the live signer. Sorry, I know I'm a horrible person.
I recommend that you learn more about ASL, interpreting, and the issues with AI auto generated captions before recommending that ASL interpreters are no longer used. Forcing Deaf Americans to get their information via their second language because ASL "distracts" people who don't need it. Not cool.
It's one person's opinion. If everyone who can hear feels the same, or a vast majority do, and the info they are intended to receive isn't received because there's so much distraction on screen with the speaker, then it's something to be reconsidered. We can't prioritize giving what my quickie..
search says is 0.14% of general population uses ASL and of the hearing impaired population only 1% of it uses ASL. So in a rational, fair, v thoughtful society, we would stop these ASL practitioners from appearing on-screen and rely on the CC technology that is actually quite good if imperfect.
If it makes you feel any better, the ADHD population in USA who are particularly susceptible to distraction is between 5-7% roughly. Accommodating them is also worthwhile.
There are multiple other sources to watch the same speech. Most of them do not capture the interpreter on the screen. If it is so distracting that you cannot focus, I recommend finding another source or even just listening to the audio since I assume you can hear.
Since you are not a person who relies on ASL, how do you know if the captions are sufficient to meet the language needs of those who do? Other than a google search?
Remember that you are loved. Just feel like that needed to be said. I personally don't care if you're Black, Hispanic, or a member of the LGBT. You are loved. I will protect you, someone else who loves will also protect you.
An admirable speech that made valid comparisons and hopefully engaged the people of Illinois regardless of party. At least, the hard of hearing translator seemed to be getting pretty worked up.
We need to repeat history. Only way they’ll stop is if we stop them.
If we do it right, we can finally make everything this country is suppose to be, the same for everyone
This is a completely accurate concern. This is how Hitler took over Germany. It was ECONOMICS. TRUMP is destroying our economic system to create fertile ground for an authoritarian takeover. This is not hyperbole. This is a formula from history that he is using. Get a VPN. Freeze credit.
Hey, folx! What are thoughts about doing this financial boycott for at least a week? If we don’t do something biggER, we will go into a financial death spiral individually, and be doing this anyways. It’s literally the minimum we could do. Isn’t it? Whose willing to spread this with me?
He’s a great man, if people like he and Kamala were running this country, instead of the orange felon, and the muskrat… This would be a different world, a better world, and a more peaceful planet 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I was pleased how Pritzker treated Covid in our state. Displeased with his approval of the Safe -T Act. But, I like his will to fight against new White House administration. How much power does a governor have to protect us? We shall see.
Pritzker is a real billionaire who is a real man, a real leader who stands for real American values. Not like the 2 little boys (orange turd and F'Elon)who are playing with people lives, want to be in gangs (Russia,China, N.K.), and burn this country down. I wish my Gov. (K.H)was more like Pritzker.
After we’ve discriminated against all immigrant, gay, transgender, disabled, female, and minority people, yet find the problems we blamed them for “are still staring us in the face….what next?
British, and wonderful to see he has a sign language interpreter.
I hope that this is mandatory under your Americans with Disabilities Act, as I can see some of the red states not wanting to make accommodations to help disabled people.
Not my wheel house and it’s I’m not so happy w ppl trying to throw shade on me bc the right wing rich a holes have issues being decent ppl. Please keep your shade over there. Thanks
I don't know if he's just using his exposure as Gov to troll the Circus Peanut, or if he's gearing up for national office, but I'm here for it either way.
This speech inspired me to commit to pray the Rosary everyday for the immigrants shackled & thrown on military planes ,children crying hysterically at the sight of their shackled parents where they end up in middle of the jungle in Panama -no outside contact. If the spirit moves you -🙏
I think it's a good thing you're pushing back against the fascists in and using the religion. I'm not in a position to do more other than pray with my limited resources. I hope that changes.
Like congresswoman Crockett said they need to do "must watch" daily briefings similar to the ones Cuomo did during first year of covid. They need to use regular TV as well as social media
Democrats need to get some of their richer members & pay for ad time round the clock on Fox during & after every show. That's where you reach MAGA. That's where u reach the older GOP voters. Do public service announcements correcting whatever lies Fox told the day before. Do this for the next 4 yrs
My only hesitation with doing this is that it makes the attendees all that easier for the Manchurian Cantaloupe's brown shirts to round up. Things like this need to be done more covertly. We need to be careful because they are looking for a reason to declare martial law.
I know this history well. I’ve been sounding the alarm for a long time. People dismissed it, said I was overreacting. They didn’t take him seriously and thought he was too foolish to have any kind of a plan. Don’t be fooled by the facade of idiocy. He is dangerous and has no regard for human life.
That’s because there aren’t any Good Americans left. Well maybe you are. But that doesn’t really count when 99% of the country feels that Trump is perfectly acceptable in his actions. Vast majority of America feels not only Canada is an acceptable target, but that NATO is a lie. No good Americans.
Oh really? All I hear from every single Conservative is “this is what we voted for”.
So do you really believe that? I doubt it, considering Trump still has every piece of his skull intact. Sane with Elon, obviously. I don’t believe anything y’all say.
You are absolutely right. The one thing I see different here is that it looks like Trump is actually trying to destroy the US. Hitler did destroy Germany, but I don"t think that was his plan!
Literally just had this and since I can’t get back to sleep posted this:
Just work up to a dream.
Rifle in hand we were out on the streets, our duty to shoot anyone out past dark. Seeing people and thinking the guy next to me will probably shoot me if I don’t fire on them.
Then waking up.
"When the world is not as you believe, then you are in a nightmare. And nothing is worse than a nightmare except one you can't wake up from." - Alamo Joe in the pilot movie for the Werewolf TV series
Thank goodness for my public junior high and high school history teachers for ingraining this in my head: learn from history and history repeats itself.
There will be no 28 POTUS if the crazy man is not stopped NOW! I'm from Germany and I'm really shocked what is happening in your state right now. Stand up and fight against fascism, 🙏
The scary thing is, many do know, they WANT to repeat it and see Trump as there man. America is so unbelievable racist, that they rather lose everything, blaming everyone but themself, giving up there family and future, just so a black WOMAN can't have a say.
A lot of people aren't aware of this, but facial expressions and body language play an essential role in conveying both emotion and context while interpreting sign language.
So am I to assume you are NOT celebrating Straight Pride?
Genesis 1:27-28
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth
When we learned in history about what Hitler did in Germany in the 1930's and 1940's we wondered how that could have happened. Now we can see with our own eyes how it happens and yes, it can happen here.
My unit received order from higher HQ which in turn received from new Sectary of defense to clear all posts related to diversity and equity. Like good Soldiers, we just rolled over and carry out the order.
I used to wonder why Wehrmacht became Hitler’s murder machine. Now I think I found my answer
WHY, ffs can't EVERY democrat official get out in their their town/city/state and speak like Pritzker? I get that not all have great speaking skills but they can find a way to get the message of fear to their constitutes in a CLEAR, SIMPLE way. "This is how 🍊 acts will hurt u, family,
a) b) c)" etc
I’m a Scot, & over here everyone is talking about what’s going on in America.
No one can understand the silence from most high profile Dems. Maybe I’m naive but I would have thought that if you are a legislator for the party that’s opposed to Trump, you’d be out on the streets sounding the alarm.
It's infuriating! I get they're scared & many didn't believe he'd follow through w/his threats, BUT he did & only a handful r out screaming. Y aren't they putting the fear of G-d in ppl. Their constitutes will start feeling the pain from 🍊acts. Officials need 2 be w/them listening & explaining
If you decide to stand for office, then you should understand that you will have to speak for the people you represent & oppose those who try to inflict harm.
Unless you’re a Republican, obviously. In that case you probably entered politics as a grift, & you don’t give a damn what happens to ppl.
Exactly. Public office isn’t a grift—it’s a responsibility. Yet, today’s GOP has abandoned governance in favor of lies, greed & cruelty. They cater to extremists, ignore suffering, and dismantle democracy for profit. They must be held accountable.
Leadership demands courage, not corruption.
This is a wonderful, simple, yet powerful speech. Let everyone in all parts of the world hear it. There are seeds of this in Australia and other countries too. We all need to wake up before this becomes a global run away train wreck.
“Here in Canada I-l, many of us believe we are witnessing the fall of the U.S. empire. Would a civilized country limit health care or food assistance for the poor; leave crops rotting in the fields; destroy the educational system;
Lola - i’m sad to say that we here in the US feel exactly the same! 😔😢
Lived a long time in this country, and I also lived nine years in Europe, which I loved. But to see this beautiful country, with all its faults, fall this way is beyond tragic and sad.
I’m a naturalized US Citizen of many years.
What I am witnessing now, I never thought I would see here.
They have decimated so many rights - of women, POC, immigrants, our healthcare, our CONSTITUTION.
Hate to break it to you but your government also limits health care and food assistance for the poor. Hell yall even have a program to directly kill disabled people.
target women and attempt to eliminate their reproductive rights while refusing to help resulting babies; abuse desperate immigrants; pretend to believe in Christianity while perverting and debasing its tenets; refuse to protect the earth from destruction?
The world is watching”
Unfortunately... this has been happening for decades. Trump is using musk to finish the job. And don't listen to Trump say if u become the 51st how low your taxes will be. You do not want American Health Care! The low taxes will only benefit the rich.
Europe also sees this as the fall of the U.S, no state can thrive or even survive in lawlessness, Trump and his Republican thugs are no longer even pretending, they are inviolable, America is lost when 77+MILLION of it's citizens bought into this obscenity.
Is there anyone in the USA with half a brain that still doesn’t realise that Trump is Putin asset? Impeach Trump now or you are going to destroy yourselves and maybe take the rest of the world with you.
Putin bought the GOP first. That's why we couldn't expel everyone in Congress who failed to vote that Biden had won the election: there were 145 traitors.
Impeachment is not going to do a damn thing. He was impeached twice during his first term and the Senate refused to convict. He is going to have to be physically removed from office. I fear we're on the brink of civil war.
@maddow.msnbc.com showed 3 minutes of this speech tonight. Governor Pritzker constantly giving me hope, as Rachel does. The Republicans will only begin to turn on Trump, I think, when they feel there is more personal danger in giving in to him, than standing up to him. I hope that time is nigh.
The WW2 genocide didn’t start with gas chambers. It started by dehumanizing people, rounding them up and putting them into camps, spreading fear, racism, blaming them for crimes.
We have seen this before. By the time there are gas chambers again it will be too late.
You've soiled your panties prematurely.
Blaming criminals for their crimes is hardly racist.
Nobody is talking about, much less considering, gassing anybody. There will be no death camps.
Is this guy opposition leader material? Outside Congress, not already demonized by the right, and looks not too dissimilar from what a lot of MAGA might see in the mirror or their neighbor but rich enough to get their attention.
No, I don’t. Makes sense in IL but not so much on the national stage as someone like AOC or Newsom or Witmer, at least from what I’ve experienced. And on X, I think that goes with the territory. But yeah, he’d be doing something wrong if he wasn’t provoking MAGA to lash out.
Learn? America voted a felon for President. Why do you think the Department of Education is being headed up by Linda MacDonalds? It’s like Trump nominating Bullwinkle head of American People Stuff.
Information for a lot of Americans is way too hard.
I’m becoming tired trying to push dems to acknowledge what the rea issue is, but they refuse to listen! Nothing this administration is doing actually matters! The only thing that matters is this… https://www.smartelections.us
I posted this same exact photo to my Facebook page and they took it down. Reason? "The photo may contain symbols, glorification or support of people and organizations we define as dangerous." Interesting how porn is allowed but not the above pic.
Good candidate for our next President. Truly a gentleman with American values. I hope he considers running if we ever have another Presidential election.
He seems to be among the few politicians who not only recognize what’s happening in USA politics but also willing to do something about it b4 too late ….⏰ tik tik tik tik 💥
Yup. If you control the books, you control the story. And if you control the story, you can pretend history was just one big patriotic musical with no bad guys. It’s textbook MAGA, and they don’t even know what a textbook is…lol
I don't think it's the education. I think it's the religion. I think it's the fact that the zealous breed at a much higher rate than the rational, meaning their numbers are swelling, and they make huge efforts to undermine education by enshittifying our textbooks and libraries and curricula.
Sadly, the history that people are not trying to repeat is the part where the fascists lost and ended up cremated in a bunker, hung from the gallows, or eating a gun.
The lesson to be learned is evil must be cleansed with fire, hung broken-necked in the square, or shamed into self-destruction.
Anyone else heard that "if you had a time machine, would you go back & @#£% Hilter" question?
Wonder if there will be a time when people are asking that question about Trump?? .
"We can't do that! Helping real people might upset some imaginary moderates somewhere! Instead, let's reach across the aisle and work with our opponents to make sure they don't get upset and nothing changes. That's what the American people really want!"
I really like this, but I fear Women's Healthcare Rights is WAY TOO LOW on the list. Women always seem to get screwed (pardon the pun) during negotiations, why is that?
There are plenty waiting in the wings (Vance 😱).
This won't disappear with him - he's been a good frontman to get the MAGA cult on board. Once they've got their claws firmly in, he becomes irrelevant to the real dark power behind this.
Never ever cared for DJT! Always thought that he was a loud mouth idiot with no class. He's proven my assessment time and time again. Democracy will win against this foolishness. Find out how you can help and get busy.
I am too old to resettle...I have a friend in Chicago I visited many years ago...loved it but I am a country person..live across the street from Lake Erie and I love that...
I live across the street from Lake Michigan! Big city life is certainly an adjustment, but when I read about everything going on in Ohio, I just know I can't go back. I was 53 when I moved. Never thought I'd be reestablishing at that age, but here we are, thanks to MAGA.

If this country survives the Trump administration, he may someday be the president, or the vice president in this country in the future. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Resistance no matter how small is important!
Speak up!
Find your voice!
Protest! Meet like minded people to gather strength and confidence!
Do something no matter how small every day!
Take breaks to recharge.
Forgive your self.
Be kind to other people.
Then tomorrow…
Rise up!
I hope that this is mandatory under your Americans with Disabilities Act, as I can see some of the red states not wanting to make accommodations to help disabled people.
We must build the opposition through micro actions that snowball into an unstoppable avalanche & we must accomplish it quickly.
Stand & fight. Dump anything related to the technoligarchy & fascist apologists.

Well, since Democratic politicians don’t even believe in Representative Democracy, who does?
Now we're an autocracy
Historically no popular revolt has changed an autocracy
Now the greedy authoritarian's fascist expansion starts WW3; when it's over he's gone & democracy's restored
WE MUST stop them NOW.

The Dems need to present a united front & speak out about the destruction of everything that America represents.
The maddening thing is that it would only take a few people to stand up, for the rest to do so too.
I'm one of the lucky ones because the speaker in the video, Gov. Pritzker, is the Governor of my state. He isn't afraid of Trump.
Unless you’re a Republican, obviously. In that case you probably entered politics as a grift, & you don’t give a damn what happens to ppl.
Leadership demands courage, not corruption.
I cannot think of ANY reason why the Democrat legislators are so muted, other than that they think it’s to their benefit to stay quiet 😒
Trump is ushering in the 4th.Reich. It truly is the 12th.hour

Blaming criminals for their crimes is hardly racist.
Nobody is talking about, much less considering, gassing anybody. There will be no death camps.
So, why is MAGA trying to sell the idea that they are all violent criminals?
Fuck you.
Act first, think later seems to be the modo.
Information for a lot of Americans is way too hard.
We barely remember what happened last week.
Fingers crossed…
They're not connected with everyone through internet, living next to others, etc etc so they don't care about others in a way
Creates a bad feedback loop of not accepting anything else
Each and every yank has the power to turn things around, we're all depending on you.

Broken and beaten German families crawled from the rubble that used to be their apartments in 1944 Germany. They didn’t blame Hitler for their loss.
You don’t eradicate such inhumanity by wishing it away. You violently torture and maim and obliterate them.
